Out of Nowhere gently explores how preserving alluvial forests, marshes and wetlands can help us face the challenges of an ever angrier, unpredictable climate.
Told through the eyes of Anna, a lifelong resident of Hallein, a historic town at the foot of the Austrian Alps, the experience flows from first-hand experience of the devastating floods that hit Europe in 2021 to reveal how reconnecting with nature may be key to protecting ourselves going forward.
Every other month we hear about yet another devastating extreme weather event — most recently in Nigeria, Pakistan, or Texas, and also close to home for me, with severe floods in Austria and across Europe in 2021 and 2024. Each one of these events carries stories of personal loss, but also of inspiring resilience. If we can come together in the aftermath of a disaster, shouldn’t we be able to do so in preparation?
The rise in extreme weather is linked to climate change. As this intensifies, it’s important to remember that we have an ally in nature when it comes to protecting ourselves. Restoring healthy riverine ecosystems isn’t just good ecology — it’s self-preservation. I really hope the project sparks reflection — and maybe even action — on how we live with our rivers.
